IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED TABLES AND PIORVTFOLIOS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 171 ,985, November 8, 1875.

To all Iwhom it may concern: i Be it known that I, JOHN BUTLER BUN- YARD, of London, England, manufacturer, have invented a Combined Table and Portfolio, of which the following is a specification: This invention consists inthe construction of a combined table and portfolio for contain; ing and preserving engravings, drawings, and similar articles, the top Of such portfolio-table which forms the portfolio being so constructed contents in the line of sight.

To make my invention better understood I will proceed to describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective Iview, showing the porttolio-table closed; Fig. 2, perspective view, showing the same open; and Fig. 3, side elevation of same.

Similar letters are used represent similar parts.

in all the figures to of a table supthe top ot' the table form- G, fitted with a hinged lid, A. The box or case G is hinged on its botdated January 11, 1876; application tiled zontal bar connecting the two middle legs B B. The two front legs C G are connected by a horizontal bar, and are hinged at D D, so that they may be made to fall back against the middle legs B B by a backward pressure on the said legs G C. The top G Of the table can then be inclined by a downward pressure on the front, and will rest upon the inclined legs C C, as seen in Fig. 2. The table is also furnished with two s winging legs, E E,` which, when drawn out, support the lid A in a horizontal position, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
